Chapter 669: Well Deserved Rest (2/2)

”I'd bet my ass that he was probably aware of that, that's why he gave me the order.” Theo snorted on the side.

”Yeah, that's probably true.” Henry added.

Henry had some dealings with Elder Flame in the past and he's somewhat aware of the Elder's peculiarity. However, it's still Theo who knows Elder Flame the best since he's a Fire Keeper.

”Whether he knows or not, it doesn't really matter.” Raven chuckled, ”Very well, since Elder Flame is not in a hurry, I do plan on resting for at least a week since it had been hectic recently and I haven't had the time to rest properly. By the way, do you have any idea of what Elder Flame wants from me, Theo?”

”Beats me.” Theo replied almost instantly, causing Raven to be somewhat speechless. ”I tried asking him but he didn't want to tell me. Whatever it is, that's your problem.”

”Wow.” Raven was really speechless.

Anyway, that didn't really bother him at all. Whatever Elder Flame wants him to do, he'd just do it if it means that it'll help the sect. Even if it would really take sometime for him to do, that's fine as well. Raven's not in a rush anyway.

The group relaxed and forgot about the matter with Elder Flame. They wanted to take advantage of their minimal free time and didn't want to stress themselves out trying to figure-out Elder Flame's intentions.

The group relaxed for three hours, then the others left since they still have somethings to do. Meanwhile, Raven was finally left alone.

He entered the private chambers and told his Avatars that he'd be in seclusion for two days. Then he disappeared and entered the crown palace.

Inside the Cultivation Eden, Raven took a deep breath and felt his body lightening-up. He felt himself relaxing...

Typically, he wouldn't waste time and begin training right away but today's different. Raven chose to gorge himself with good food and rest for quite sometime. Even though Raven looked normal from the outside, in truth he's really exhausted, he's just suppressing it all.

Training in this state wouldn't be ideal and would just be a wasted effort. Since time moves slower here, he wanted to take this chance to rest properly. He'd begin his training afterwards.

After gorging himself full of good food, Raven passed out inside his tent. He basically lost consciousness as soon as his body hit the soft and warm mattress. He didn't even had the energy to put on any clothes, he just covered his naked body in a thick duvet and silenced his thoughts.

His sleep lasted for two weeks straight. Thankfully he didn't do it outside or else everyone will be panicking by now. During that two week sleep, Raven's body healed itself completely, his exhausted psyche and spirit was replenished and he was completely refreshed. The results of his sleep were ten times more effective than regular meditation.

Well, considering how hard he worked during this past few months...this is a well deserved rest.

Raven didn't immediately train after he woke-up though. He took it slow by enjoying some warm and filling meal, then he exercised for a few hours, rested, ate lunch, practiced his basics until sun-down, ate dinner and slept. He didn't meditate or even had the thoughts to integrate with the insights his Avatars collected just yet.

This routine lasted for whole week before Raven felt that he had completely recovered. Only then did he start his actual training.

He started by integrating with the insights of his Avatars, allowing him to raise his comprehension of Destruction and Spacetime Laws as well as other things.

Then he began increasing his expertise in Combat Runes. He played around and experimented on Runic Creation, he does this until dinner. After dinner, he will integrate with the knowledge of his Avatars within his Inner Cosmos.

His cultivation progress had slowed down considerably after reaching his current realm. He wasn't even near to a breakthrough. Nevertheless, Raven didn't rush it. He patiently gathered his accumulations and let nature take it's course. Being anxious and rushing this would just destroy his future, Raven didn't want that.

And just like that, Raven's seclusion continued. He paid a visit to the Scripture Graveyard and the Monument of Stars as well. He didn't meet any of the previous heirs this time as well but he didn't mind it.

Raven polished his craft, getting better every single day. He was completely immersed in his training that sometimes he would forget everything else. Nonetheless, Raven remained calm, disciplined and patient.

He followed his routine and forgot about time, he was only reminded by his avatars when it's nearly time to exit. One week before he ended his seclusion, Raven didn't train and just rested, spending idle time in meditation instead.

Afterwards, he exited seclusion and prepared for his meeting with Elder Flame next week.
